Whaaaaaa??? This show is good? I thought I came in this thread after the initial episode and there were a lot of posts stating how mediocre the show was. Guess I will have to watch a couple episodes on demand to see for myself.

 

[Maddocks]

first episode was a whatever episode. but episode 2 and on only got better and better.

 

[gdt]

Yeah, the writing and acting on this show are brilliant.

What's replacing this show's timeslot?

 

[Steelyuhas]

What's replacing this show's timeslot?

Girls has it's season finale tonight, and will air twice (at 10 and 10:30), but starting next week they are doing two dramas instead of their typical drama at 9 and comedies at 10 and 10:30.

True Blood at 9
The Newsroom at 10

 

[newjeruse]

True Blood is just...the worst thing in the world.

Did they ever actually say what Dan did on the McCauley Amendment that he's going to be in so much trouble for?

 

[Fry]

So, I just caught the pilot on TV. Why the hell didn't anyone tell me Tony Hale is a regular in this show?!

I need to see this now.

 

[Daydream Sequence]

I did a marathon viewing this week via HBO Go on the 360. Pilot episode was kinda ehhhhh, but after that the show just frickin took off. Loved every single subsequent episode and hated when it was over.

I really hope Veep gets her her third Emmy. Definitely deserved.

I'm glad this show is good, but where's the fourth series of The Thick of It Mr. Iannucci?

- Kevin Dunn Joins ‘Veep’

Kevin Dunn has been tapped for a recurring role on HBO’s comedy Veep starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus. He will play

Spoiler

Ben, the President’s Chief of Staff. Pragmatic and no-nonsense, Ben finds himself unable to navigate the all-spin-all-the-time world of Washington politics.

The casting brings Dunn back to HBO, where he co-starred on drama Luck. Dunn, repped by Gersh and Lighthouse Entertainment, will next be seen in Lionsgate’s The Frozen Ground, in the Steve Jobs biopic Jobs and Diego Luna’s Chavez.

Gary Cole has been cast in a major recurring role on the upcoming second season of HBO’s comedy Veep starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Vice President Selina Meyer. I hear Cole will appear

Spoiler

in as many as eight of the 10 episodes from Veep‘s second season. Details about his character are being kept under wraps but I hear he will play a Karl Rove-type of character named Kent.

[Bladenic]

Just marathoned the first season, holy shit it's so funny. Seriously, some episodes had me unable to breathe. So much funnier than Girls. Can't wait for season 2.

Can't wait.

- Gary Cole Joins HBO Comedy ‘Veep’

Having just watched The West Wing again, it'll be amusing to see him back in a role that puts him in The White House again.

 

[Cornballer]

The teaser also confirms an April start date on the 10-episode Season 2.

Airing behind Game of Thrones this year, what else are they going to air in that hour, Eastbound and Down?

 

[Cornballer]

Airing behind Game of Thrones this year, what else are they going to air in that hour, Eastbound and Down?

I'm not sure. I haven't heard anything about them even filming EB&D yet, so I doubt that's going to be ready in time.

 

[Steelyuhas]

I'm not sure. I haven't heard anything about them even filming EB&D yet, so I doubt that's going to be ready in time.

Yeah we were all surprised that they are even doing a fourth season considering they said several times explicitly that it was going to be three seasons.

They must have something, I don't know if they've ever aired a half hour show without another one behind it to finish the hour.

 

[Nif]

OH FUCK YES

Airing behind Game of Thrones this year, what else are they going to air in that hour, Eastbound and Down?

That would be the best 2 hour block of television in a long time.

 

[IISANDERII]

Just marathoned the first season, holy shit it's so funny. Seriously, some episodes had me unable to breathe. So much funnier than Girls. Can't wait for season 2.

Girls is a comedy?

 

[RatskyWatsky]

They must have something, I don't know if they've ever aired a half hour show without another one behind it to finish the hour.

They have several new half hour comedies that are slated for this year and maybe a new drama as well.

 

[Cornballer]

Ok, I'll bite the bullet and watch their Winter preview to see what else is on it. Be right back.

EDIT: Listed as "coming soon" - True Blood, Veep, Newsroom, Family Tree, Vice, along with some specials and movies.

I haven't heard much about Family Tree being ready in time, but that might be it?

 

[Guevara]

Love this show, glad to hear it's back in April.

WTF is Vice?

 

[Vyer]

Looking forward to this. Love these casting additions.

 

[Bladenic]

Girls is a comedy?

Are you serious?

 

[Cornballer]

WTF is Vice?

It's apparently a newsmagazine/weekly documentary(?) from Vice Magazine and Bill Maher. Not quite sure what to expect from it.

Yeah, I have no idea if it'll be any good, but I'm going to give it a shot.

Oh, interesting. I think I've seen some of Vice's documentaries in the past, so I'm not sure why I didn't make the connection. Should be pretty good.

 

[Cornballer]

From HBO: VEEP will return April 14 at 10 p.m.

Can't wait. Watched season 1 a few weeks ago, loved it. Hope S2 delivers.

Really looking forward to this. While the first series didn't make me laugh as much as I'd hoped, it was still great fun to watch. Also, is anyone else annoyed that 'Iannucci' is misspelled in the thread title?
